DISPLAY RACK.

Application filed May 2,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OTTO J. KORHUMMEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chester, in the county of Middlesex and I State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Display Racks; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawin constitutes part of this application an represents a perspective view of a display rack constructed in accordance with 16 my invention.

This invention relates to improvement in display racks, and particularly to display racks especially designed for the display of manicure sticks. These sticks are made in 20 a variety of sizes, and the object of this invention is to provide a display rack in which sticks of various sizes may be conveniently and attractively displayed, and the invention consists in the construction as herein- 26 after described and particularly recited in the claim.

In carrying out my invention, I employ a top plate 5, preferably formed from metal, and if so, provided with downwardly-ex- 30 tending flanges 6 on each side. The ends of this plate are set over and secured to uprights 7, which are preferably formed from wood, and radually increase in width toward their ower ends to form feet 8. Be-

tween the uprights and above the feet is a transversely-arranged base 9, and upon this base is a triangular block 10, to the upper faces of which may be applied a name plate 1922. Serial No. 557,950.

11. The plate 5 is formed with a series of perforations 12, through which glass containers 13 may be passed, these containers being closed at their lower ends and provided at their upper ends with outwardly extending ribs 14, which are seated upon the surface of the plate 5 so as to support the containers in a vertical position. These containers are of difierent lengths, according to the length of orange sticks 15, which are placed in them so that their upper ends project slightly above the ends of the containers, in position to be conveniently grasped for removal.

This display case is adapted for use in stores where the sticks are for sale, and not only provides a convenient and attractive display case, but also a convenient form of container for a variety of sizes of manicure sticks.

I claim:

A display frame, comprising a base and uprights at the opposite ends thereof, a metal plate formed on opposite sides with downwardly-extending flanges, the ends of said plates set over and secured to the upper ends of said uprights, said plate formed with a series of perforations combined with a series of glass containers adapted to be passed through the said perforations in the said plate and be supported thereby.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

OTTO J. KORHUMMEL.
